2015 Ford F-150 Wins NEMPA Yankee Cup

Cambridge, MA – The New England Motor Press Association (NEMPA) has awarded its annual Yankee Cup to the 2015 Ford F-150. NEMPA, in conjunction with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, gives the technology award to an automotive feature, system or vehicle that significantly makes driving safer, more cost efficient or more enjoyable.

“When reviewing all the entries for the Yankee Cup, we couldn’t help but notice the F-150 is loaded with innovation,” said Craig Fitzgerald, New England Motor Press Association president. “We all know this vehicle is Built Ford Tough, but now it is both tough and smart – helping to redefine the light-duty pickup for the next generation.”

“It is an honor to accept this award on behalf of the team behind the all-new Ford F-150,” said Pete Reyes, F-150 chief engineer. “With the 2015 F-150, Ford is teaching the world how to build a next-generation truck, and the more than 100 patents the F-150 team has filed for technologies prove these Ford engineers and designers are innovative leaders in the automotive industry.”
